I really liked Jake, so bummed to see him go, but I am sure there is a reason for that - good luck Jake - hope this does not come to bite Portland in the rear.
hey man, if thats the case then im all for it. i feel like hed be the toast of the town in portland. hes born to play in this city lol
To be clear, we can do the same thing MIN did. If there was a FA we wanted at that number, their rights-owning team could sign and trade them to us for the exception plus cash or a top 55-protected or something.
yeah, except they say it loudly he averaged 16.5 minutes and per36, he averaged 15.5 pts, 12.4 rebs, and 4.6 asts. And he still was playing solid defense. You can't ask for more from a vet minimum C
Yeah I don't understand. Less than $4M per year and we send him to another team in the division for apparently nothing. It's a bad move unless we're using it to make something else happen (which is what I'm guessing).
Here's a link to Bartlestein and his players and their contracts. All agents are listed there with players contracts they represent as well. https://hoopshype.com/reps/mark-bartelstein/
Smart move again. The last thing Olshey wants is an end of the bench wing player on a multi year contract. Use the open slot for a vet big or PG on a one year contract, and retain maximum flexibility for next summer. Good luck to Layman. He’s a good kid with reasonable talent, but he’s not right for the Blazers at this point in time.
So we can afford 2.6 mil to Anthony Toliver who is a hundred years old but we can't afford to pay Jake 3.8 mil ?! Why are you guys so happy about this? Jake might not be best player in the league, but for that money? a tall athletic guy who scores in double figures every other night?
It sure seems the trend is get guys on 1 year deals. It makes since with role players. I could actually see Leonard signing a one year deal or two with an option with Raptors.
